IGCSE Tutors in Sector 103 Gurugram: From Predicted Grade to Final Grade

Both are real and they measure different things. The prediction reflects what the school has seen across classwork, tests and effort. The mock reflects what your child produces alone, under time, marked more strictly. When the mock sits two grades lower, the gap is almost always about transfer rather than knowledge: incomplete answers, no working shown, command words misread, questions left unattempted. That is the workable version of the problem, because technique moves faster than content does. Bring the mock script to the first session, not the prediction.

The last ten weeks are about papers, not chapters. A tutor should be setting full timed papers, marking them to the published scheme, and maintaining a shrinking list of repeated errors. Content teaching drops back to whatever those errors expose. Expect sessions to feel less like lessons and more like reviews. If a tutor is still working through the textbook in the final term, the plan does not fit the time available. Ask in week one what the last ten weeks will look like, and hold them to the answer.

Subject, level, format and travel, roughly in that order. A Grade 10 sciences specialist commands more than a Grade 9 generalist. A tutor driving into the Dwarka Expressway sectors prices the journey in, visibly or otherwise, which is why the same person often quotes less for online work. Experience at the specific board and paper is worth paying for; total years of teaching is not, on its own. Ask what the rate includes, because homework marking between sessions and written notes are the two things worth confirming.

Because Chemistry schemes want particular words. Writing that a reaction speeds up when it gets hotter is correct and scores nothing where the scheme wants an increase in the rate of reaction with a reference to particle collisions. Answers also lose marks for missing units, absent state symbols, and for describing where the command word asked for an explanation. This is trainable within weeks. Ask the tutor to mark your child's answers with the scheme open and to show the exact wording that would have earned the mark.

Most societies along this stretch, Sobha City and Puri Diplomatic Greens included, want visitors registered before entry, and several ask for a regular-visitor entry that takes a day or two to process. Start it when you confirm the match rather than on the evening of the first session, which is when it usually gets discovered. The registration also creates an independent record of every visit, which is worth having. Tutors already teaching inside your society are generally cleared already and can start sooner.

No, and you do not need permission. But telling the subject teacher is usually worth it, because they will share what they are seeing and often the mock calendar with it. Schools rarely object; some will point out that they already run a doubt clinic covering the same ground, which saves you money. IB Gram is independent of every school named on this page and works from what the family and the marked work show. Treat the school as a source of information rather than an approval step.

It can still help, provided the scope shrinks. Two subjects worked seriously for ten weeks will move further than five touched lightly. In the final term the work is paper technique, timing and the repeated errors visible in the mock scripts, not fresh content. Be honest with the tutor about what is left. A tutor who agrees to cover an entire syllabus in eight weeks is agreeing to something that cannot be done. Bring every marked mock so the weakness list is built from evidence.

Sometimes, and it depends on the person rather than the pairing. A single tutor covering both keeps the week simpler and can carry the mathematics that runs through each of them. But depth suffers if their real strength is one subject and they are stretching into the other, which is common enough to check for. Ask which of the two they have taught more at this board and level, then decide. Two specialists cost more in scheduling than in money, and for Grade 10 that trade is usually worth making.

No. IB Gram is a matching platform rather than a coaching institute. Tutors are independent and are introduced to families on the basis of board, subject, level, location and availability. The platform confirms identity, asks for teaching history at board and paper level, and follows up references where they are supplied. It does not employ the tutors, mark exam papers, or hold any relationship with Cambridge, Pearson Edexcel or the schools named here. What happens inside a session is between the family and the tutor.
